About the Code
It is important that as members of the Australian esports community we recognise the important role esports is playing for many people. It is a platform for diversity, sportsmanship, inclusiveness and enjoyment having a positive social impact upon the broader community.
The public, community, players and all those reached by the Australian esports industry rightly expect a fair, safe and inclusive esports environment that holds itself to the highest of standards.
The AESA Code of Conduct (the Code) provides all members of the Australian esports community with framework that supports industry best practice, ethical behaviour and a positive esports environment in Australia.
Anti- Discrimination Policy
The Esports Australia (AESA) is a non-profit organisation dedicated to fostering inclusive, harassment-free gaming and has zero-tolerance for all forms of bullying, discriminating, and threatening behaviour. Such behaviours are harmful to the individual and to the integrity of esports.
Bullying, discrimination and harassment is a type of behaviour that has various forms. It may be intended or unintended, direct or indirect and can involve a person’s physical or mental state.
All forms of bullying, discrimination and harassment are intolerable in esports.
This policy enables a safe and welcoming environment for all people to participate in and spectate esports. The AESA advocates that esports is open to all players of any age, race, gender, ability, cultural background, sexuality or religion. The AESA cares about creating healthy environments and atmospheres that encourage growth and acceptance throughout all esports events to ensure a safe, fair and inclusive esports environment for all.
